Dear all......

Is there anybody working on elliptic jets?

regards kasyap

What sort of elliptic jets? Low speed, high speed, in combustion systems...

In the case of subsonic air jets, to give you a flavour, you should check:

Gutmark, E., Schadow, K. C., Parr, D. M., Harris, C. K. and Wilson, K. J. The mean and turbulent structure of noncircular jets. AIAA Conference Paper (1985) Shear Flow Control Conference 85-0543.

Ho, C.-M. and Gutmark, E. Vortex induction and mass entrainment in a small-aspect-ratio elliptic jet. Journal of Fluid Mechanics (1987), vol. 179, 383-405.

Crighton, D. G. Instability of an elliptic jet. Journal of Fluid Mechanics (1973), vol. 59(4), pp. 665-672.

Husain, H. S. and Hussain, F. Elliptic jets. Part 3. Dynamics of preferred mode coherent structure. Journal of Fluid Mechanics (1993), vol. 248, pp. 315-361.

Dear Mikel...

Thanks for ur prompt reply....actually i m working in elliptic liquid jets....do u hav any idea?

regards kasyap

No, not really.

But you should try the following type of initial literature search: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl...tic+liquid+jet

After that try more detailed searches in Web of Science, etc.

If I was you I would research into circular water jets (or liquid jets) and after you are familiar with the important authors, only then you should adventure into elliptic jets.

PS: in Google Scholar try words such as noncircular or non-circular instead of elliptic...
